Hearing Zhang Jun's complaint, Wu Hao laughed, and Zhou Xiangming and the others also laughed, but there was more of a helplessness in their smiles.
Although they really don't want to explain these issues anymore, who makes Zhang Jun their immediate boss? Even if they have no choice but to do more, they have to explain it patiently. Otherwise, unless he doesn't want to do it anymore, or this project
Not ready to be implemented.
Zhou Xiangming smiled at Zhang Jun and explained: "It's not troublesome at all. In fact, our method of landing on the moon is basically the same as the Apollo moon landing method used by the United States and the United States 40 or 50 years ago. The only difference is that the Apollo moon landing method
It is carried out in one piece, but we split it into three parts.
Although our method is more troublesome and complicated than the Apollo moon landing, our method is the most reasonable, the easiest to implement, can be run repeatedly, and has low construction and operation costs, among other advantages.
Let’s not talk about other things, but our current capabilities are not yet able to build a behemoth like the Saturn V. You know, the Saturn V’s near-Earth carrying capacity has reached nearly 120 tons, and its lunar carrying capacity has also reached an astonishing level.
of forty-five tons.
In comparison, I am afraid that only our country's longevity can match it, but judging from the data, it is even slightly insufficient.
Secondly, using a behemoth like the Saturn V and the entire Apollo spacecraft, this trip to the moon cost a huge amount, which can be said to be an astronomical figure. Even the United States, which was at the height of its power at the time, eventually had to
give up.
I am afraid that such a large launch cost is not something that a private enterprise like us can support at present. Even if we go public in the future, I am afraid that we will not be able to support such a huge money-burning project. Investors are the most practical, why should they be optimistic about such a money-burning and
What about projects with little profit?
Although our split-type and stepped lunar landing plan is a bit more fiddly, it is low-cost, sustainable, and has lower technical requirements.
Our Jianmu-7 rocket used to launch the Walker spacecraft is recyclable and reusable, and the Earth-Moon transfer spacecraft used to transfer personnel and materials from the Earth to the Moon is reusable and can be operated in orbit for a long time.
The lander used for the moon landing can also be reused. In this way, we can control the cost of the moon landing at a very low price. In this way, we can easily defeat the moon landing with ultra-low operating costs.
Other competitors can thus seize the opportunity in the competition for the moon, and even gain an invincible position."
To put it bluntly, everything is to save costs, which is the key to commercialization. After hearing Zhou Xiangming’s words, Wu Hao said to Zhang Jun.
After hearing what Wu Hao said, Zhang Jun nodded with satisfaction. As long as he could spend less money, he liked it. And after Zhou Xiangming's introduction, he became more optimistic about this project.
Seeing that Zhang Jun did not continue to ask questions, Wu Hao waved to a few people and said, "Let's go in and take a look!"
Because the space inside the Earth-to-Moon transfer spacecraft was limited, only Wu Hao and Zhang Jun, accompanied by Zhou Xiangming and Yang Xiaoyun, entered the interior of the Earth-to-Moon transfer spacecraft model. In order to ensure the internal plot, several people set up tricks
Put on shoe covers.
Contrary to what Wu Hao and the others imagined, the decoration and layout inside were also very complete. It didn't look like a messy test product or engineering prototype at all.
Like the internal space structure of the core module of the space station, the interior of this Earth-to-Moon transfer spacecraft is also divided into squares. Walking in is like walking into a house with a relatively compact layout.
After passing a row of instruments and equipment, Wu Hao's eyes stopped at the horizontal grids on both sides of the large column section, and then asked Zhou Xiangming: "Are these the places where astronauts rest and sleep?"
Zhou Xiangming nodded and replied: "Yes, both sides are bedrooms for passengers in the Earth-to-Moon transfer spacecraft to rest. There are eight bedrooms in total. Each bedroom can accommodate one passenger to rest. There are two more over there.
The bathroom is for astronauts’ convenience and bathing use.”
"It looks a little small?" Zhang Jun put his head into a small bedroom space and looked at it.
"In fact, it is not small. We have personally experienced that it can accommodate one person to rest well, and we have independent vents in each bedroom to ensure the air circulation in the bedroom. And everyone has noticed
Well, each bedroom has a small window that can see the outside. This is also to soothe the body and mind of the passengers and reduce stress during the orbit.
As for this side, it is the kitchen. We installed a microwave oven, two refrigerators, and hot and cold water dispensers on the spacecraft. In this way, the members can not only eat hot food in the spacecraft, but also make hot tea.
, hot coffee and other items. The refrigerator can be used to store some cold and fresh supplies for passengers to use.
There is also a fitness area arranged here for passengers to conduct some simple physical training in orbit to prepare for subsequent moon landing missions. However, under normal circumstances, a single voyage only lasts for two or three days, about three or four days.
, so basically not used.
If a lunar scientific research station is built in the future, we will of course place more fitness equipment inside so that passengers do not need to exercise inside the spacecraft.
This is the equipment control area. Not only can all system functions of the entire spacecraft be controlled here, but if necessary, it can also be switched to manual mode to drive the entire Earth-to-Moon transfer spacecraft.
This is a test area where some on-orbit related experiments can be carried out.”
After listening to Zhou Xiangming's introduction, Wu Hao nodded, then looked around, then walked out of the model, patted the cabin body, turned to Zhou Xiangming who followed him and asked: "This Earth-to-Moon transfer spacecraft
When will it be successfully developed?"
Hearing Wu Hao's question, Zhang Jun and the others also looked over, obviously they were also very concerned about this issue.
When Zhou Xiangming heard this, he thought for a moment, and then said to Wu Hao: "Because we have the relevant technology of the space station core module as a reference, the development of our Earth-to-Moon transfer spacecraft is progressing very quickly. However, it is still far from being successfully developed.
, there is still a long time to come.
I have estimated that it will take about three to four years. This is the fastest reply I can give you."
Hearing Zhou Xiangming's words, Wu Hao shook his head repeatedly, and then said to Zhou Xiangming: "Impossible, I can't give you such a long time. Once our lunar scientific research station is officially launched, it will be completed in two to three years."
The first phase of the construction project will be completed within five years.
The time you want is too long, and we can’t delay the entire project until you succeed, so you must hurry up on this."
Saying that, Wu Hao raised two fingers: "Two years, I will give you two years. After two years, I want to see the results!"
